Play ball! (with toilet paper...?)

Lukas is playing ball with us! He will take one of his toy balls and throw/roll it at us, and when we roll it back, he gets it and throws/rolls it back. :) He started doing this, oh, two days ago. It is so cute! Daddy says that Lukas would first get the balls in his hands and hit them against each other; then, he'd close his eyes and swiftly throw them backwards. After a few tries, he finally coordinated enough to throw the ball back at us instead of backwards.

He's also discovered toilet paper. Now that he's become a pro at walking (he really took off on abuelita's birthday this past Thursday), he walks into the bathroom and heads stright to the toilet paper. He started patting it until he realized that if he pats it in a certain way, the paper will unravel....and unravel.... Fun. ;)

He's doing much better from his short cold. The bug he got last week made its home in my throat and I had 5 full days of a horrible sore throat - it felt raw! I could barely swallow! That, thankfully, has passed. Now if only I knew why he's now waking up between 4 and 5 am each morning! I feel like the walking dead!

On another note, the J was closed yesterday and today, so yesterday I brought L with me to work and boy did he have fun! He got to walk around, read, and play with mommy and her coworkers. He was very happy and sociable, which in turn caused a lot of attention to be bestowed upon him. He ate well and napped well, and so overall, I had a very happy baby at work. Today he stayed home with daddy and from what I hear, has been a bundle of energy.
